Growth rate and rupture rate of unruptured intracranial aneurysms: a population approach
BACKGROUND Understanding aneurysm growth rate allows us to predict not only the current rupture risk, but also accumulated rupture risk in the future. However, determining growth rate of unruptured intracranial aneurysms often requires follow-up of patients for a long period of time so that significant growth can be observed and measured. We investigate a relationship between growth rate and ru...
متن کاملUnruptured intracranial aneurysms: incidence of rupture and risk factors.
UNLABELLED Backgrounds and Purpose- The authors evaluated the incidence of rupture of unruptured intracranial saccular aneurysm during observation. METHODS Between January 2003 and December 2006, a total of 419 patients with 529 unruptured intracranial saccular aneurysms were observed without treatment. The mean follow-up duration was 905.3 days. Aneurysm size was measured by 3-dimensional CT...
متن کاملUnruptured intracranial aneurysms conservatively followed with serial CT angiography: could morphology and growth predict rupture?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite several landmark studies, the natural history of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) remains uncertain. Our aim was to identify or confirm factors predictive of rupture of UIA being observed conservatively with serial CT angiography (CTA) in a North American patient population. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of patients with UIA being followed w...
متن کاملGenetic Determinants of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms in the General Population.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Genome-wide association studies have identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for intracranial aneurysms in clinical samples. In addition, SNPs have been discovered for blood pressure, one of the strongest risk factors for intracranial aneurysms. We studied the role of these genetic variants on occurrence and size of unruptured intracranial aneurysms, discovered ...
